The Waikato Electronic Milk Meter provides you with real-time information on the performance of your cows to deliver an accurate and clear picture of how each animal is performing, at every milking. By supplying you with valuable data on milk yield, flow rates and milking duration in addition to milking volume, the Electronic Milk Meter provides a milking profile of each animal to show how she milks. This can be an indicator of milking procedure performance and cow comfort. This data allows you to make important herd management decisions including feed regimes for each animal, breeding and possible veterinary actions to ensure your entire herd is performing to its optimum level. Simplicity is at the heart of our design philosophy. That’s why we’ve made the Electronic Milk Meter easy to disassemble without the need to use tools. The screw cap can be unwound and the lid of the meter lifts off to provide access to the meter’s centre and outer chamber, its sensing pins and breather snorkel. The cylindrical design of the meter ensures thorough cleaning as wash water “dead zones” are eliminated. During plant washing, timed pulses of air are admitted into the meter body to create turbulence and ensure a pristine clean every time.
